Here is an image showing the pin diagram of this transistor.The 2SB1509-S transistor can have a current gain of 140 to 280. The gain of the 2SB1509 will be in the range from 70 to 280, for the 2SB1509-Q it will be in the range from 70 to 140, for the 2SB1509-R it will be in the range from 100 to 200.Sometimes the "2S" prefix is not marked on the package - the 2SB1509-S might only be marked "B1509-S".The complementary NPN transistor to the 2SB1509-S is the 2SD2282-S.
